It's still too early to tell if the bloom will be stellar at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve, but with the good rains this year so far, they are hoping for a nice covering of wild flowers. I didn't even know this State Park existed until today, but if Mother Nature comes through, I'd be willing to drive out to Lancaster to see the hills awash in color.

When I was in Yellowstone, I bought a naturalist's portfolio of field sketches of the native flora and fauna done in the 1910's - 1920's by Olaus J. Murie. The series (10 drawings) were framed and displayed throughout the Buffalo Ranch headquarters and were simply lovely. Unfortunately, I had no luck at the frame store finding the frames I wanted for the prints.

I'm not sure where Lancaster or Antelope Valley is located (I should get out a map).

I've twice been to Death Valley when the flowers were in bloom--it's amazing. In a blog that I no longer use but is still up (where I use to put pics), there are shots from Death Valley from March 2005. If you get a chance, check it out: http://sagecoveredhillsphotos.blogspot.com

I wrote about the trip in this blog during that same period (at the time I didn't know how to place photos within text blogs!)
